"Merlin's beard, is this a wand?"

"Professor Dumbledore! I...I really can't stand such a joke!"

Olivander stood up excitedly.

"Our Ollivander family has been making wands for hundreds of years, and we have never seen a wand like this."

"Only wood and magical animal materials that are compatible with magic can be used to make wands. This is the consensus of all wand-making families."

"Professor, Mr. Merlin, please don't joke like that!"

"Wait, Mr. Ollivander."

Dumbledore spoke first, signaling him to calm down.

"This is really a magic wand. I promise you that you can take a good look at it."

"Really...really?"

Hearing this, Ollivander calmed down.

Dumbledore's name is a golden sign in the magic world.

If he said so, could this really be a wand?

Ollivander tried to pick up the wand made by Merlin.

Although it was made of metal, the first feeling he had was that it was light.

After waving it a few times subconsciously, he didn't notice any difference.

But he also didn't feel the compatibility from the depths of his heart.

"Maybe the magic compatibility is not good."

Ollivander shook his head subconsciously and cast the magic

""The orchid is in full bloom."

Suddenly, a large orchid grew from the tip of the magic wand, and it even had a faint fragrance, attracting butterflies.

""Merlin's beard!"

Ollivander grabbed his hair, looking a bit like Hermione.

He stared at the orchid on the top of the wand, and took out his own wand to cast the magic again.

Although the orchids grew, the number and luxuriance were completely inferior to those of the metal wand. They even began to wither visibly with the naked eye.

"Merlin's pants! How is this possible?

Ollivander screamed in disbelief.

"This wand can cast spells better than my own wand?"

"Clear water like a spring!"

"Flocks of birds!"

"Shadow Cheetah!"

……

Several more spells were cast.

Ollivander even changed several other wands.

But the magic effect was still much better than his own.

And Merlin could see that Ollivander was probably a materialization wizard. He was good at summoning.

I'm afraid there will be another round of shock when he knows the properties of his magic.

Now, let's not irritate this poor old man.

After waiting for Ollivander to finish all the tests, Merlin slowly asked about the wand.

"Good, very good, very good."

Ollivander was silent for a while, lowered his head

"Even... perfect!"

"Can I ask how this is made?"

Ollivander still had the last flame in his eyes.

"Of course, just wrap the core material you want with this metal and close it."

"It's over!"

Ollivander whispered softly.

"This wand is an invention that changed the wizarding world, but it is also a nightmare for us traditional wand-making families."

"I can see that from today on, no one will buy wands like ours.

Ollivander sighed and looked at Merlin with a complicated expression.

"Mr. Merlin, I have to say, you are really a talented little wizard."

"Being able to invent such a magic wand right after entering school, even in my memory, I have never seen anyone like him."

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr Ollivander."

"But you can rest assured that this kind of magic wand will not take over your market."

"Why?"

Ollivander looked surprised.

"Because this metal is not easy to refine and its cost is relatively high."

"Such a wand would cost at least fifty Galleons.

This is the price that Merlin came up with after calculating the specific alchemy cost and production cost.

Only in this way can he guarantee a 50% profit even if the price is reduced in the future.

If it is less, he will really not make any money.

"How much? Fifty Galleons?

Ollivander was even more shocked.

"But this price is very cheap. The average wand in my shop costs more than 60 Galleons."

"Huh?"

Molin was stunned.

He remembered that the wand only cost seven Galleons. How could it be so expensive?

"Merlin, you forgot the subsidy from the Ministry of Magic.

It was only when Dumbledore reminded him that Merlin suddenly realized what was going on.

"Indeed! I actually forgot about the subsidy."The reason why the little wizards at Hogwarts can buy cheap wands at Ollivander's is because there are subsidies behind it.

Otherwise, think about it.

Normally, the material cost of a wand is more than a dozen Galleons.

Some rare materials are even more expensive.

Taking into account the labor cost and the success rate of production, this price is really not profitable.

Merlin was a little embarrassed now.

I didn't expect the show to be even more powerful.

Ollivander no longer cared about what he said, but took the wand and began to feel it carefully.

After accepting that this wand was indeed a wand, Ollivander had begun to learn.

Throw a few detection magics on it.

Then he took out a set of high-end relics.

Ollivander began to write and draw on paper.

After a while, Pride looked up

"Mr. Merlin, I believe the materials you use to make these wands are dragon heartstrings, dragon nerves, runes snake tendons, and bird snake feathers, is that correct?"

"That’s right!"

"As expected, due to the better adaptability of magic, even the measurement accuracy has been improved."

"How is this made?" (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Merlin was a little curious.

Without touching the material itself, or even seeing its appearance, how did Ollivander accurately tell the material of these wand cores?

"This is... never mind, it's no big deal to tell you."

Ollivander sighed halfway through his words.

"When you are familiar enough with these magical animal materials, you can feel their magical fluctuations"[]

"If it was an old wand, I would know what was inside based on the feedback from each wand material."

"It is a little trick passed down by word of mouth among staff makers."

"But your material……"

Ollivander shook his head slightly

"I have never seen a material with such uniform magic capacity, which may be one of the reasons why it is suitable for a variety of magic."

"I never thought that after making magic wands all my life, I would lose because of a material I had never seen before."

"I'm afraid there will be no more Ollivander family."

"Molin, I dare say that you will do better than me in the future"

""Ah?"

Merlin was stunned.

He realized that Ollivander had misunderstood his meaning.

He just came to show Ollivander the situation of these wands, how did it become that he was going to enter the wand industry.

This was a bit too strange.

Moreover, Merlin knew one thing very well.

The key to expanding the business territory is to master the upstream key technology.

You eat meat, and your companions drink soup.

He has the help of the twins and others in the sales of alchemical props, but other industries still need manpower.

If Ollivander can join in his business territory, it will be of great benefit to the subsequent expansion.

But these words shocked Ollivander a lot. It took him a long time to react before he realized what Merlin meant.

"You mean, I can make wands directly from this material, and you can provide me with a steady supply?"

"Of course, but the current production is limited, only about ten pounds a month. Considering that other people may also need it, I can only give you three to four pounds........."

"Enough!"

Ollivander nodded immediately.

In the test just now, he had tested the weight of this wand.

Three pounds is enough to make more than a dozen wands.

Although it is not enough to support an entire store, it is still worth looking forward to as a new product.

Even his name may appear in"History of Magic".

People may call him a brave reformer, the first to accept the metallized wand and put it into production.

Thinking of this, Ollivander couldn't help but smile.

"Merlin, don't worry, I will definitely use them to make a perfect wand"

"I believe you, Mr. Ollivander."

"But can I make some changes when making it?"

Ollivander asked

"for example?"

"The weight, the length, the grip, the appearance."

Ollivander squinted and looked at the wand seriously.

"Everyone wants to be unique, so the wand must be unique"

"Only according to each person's physical condition and preferences can the most suitable wand be made."

"When we used wood before, we were limited by the nature of the wood material and often could not fully utilize it."

"But with this... Mithril! Yes, Mithril! I can make sure every wizard gets his or her own wand."

"Of course! This is your freedom, Mr. Ollivander."

Merlin understood what he meant when he heard this.

He felt that the Ollivander family was indeed an indestructible family that had stood for a thousand years.

It was not easy for him to figure out this business theory by himself.

But it was better this way, so that he would not have to find an excuse to explain something to Ollivander later.

……

Finally, after all the discussions with Ollivander,

Merlin and Dumbledore left Ollivander's Wand Shop.

"Professor, wait!"

Seeing that Dumbledore was about to cast a spell to return to the school, Merlin hurriedly called him and quickly searched for something in Diagon Alley.

Dumbledore stopped and asked Merlin what he was looking at.

"Fifty for rent"

"4.5 The Weasley twins and I want to open an alchemical toy workshop. We haven’t decided on a name yet, but we think we can choose a store first.……"

Dumbledore didn't listen to what was said afterwards.

He just felt that Merlin was not simple.

Other young wizards in the Muggle world were still worried about not being able to find a job when they were about to graduate.

Merlin had even thought about opening a store when he just entered the school.

This might also be a different kind of unusualness.

Dumbledore was looking forward to Merlin's subsequent performance.

In order to cover up the matter of the house deed, Merlin did not really rent or buy a house at the first time. He just mixed in the crowd, picked up a flyer and followed Dumbledore back to Hogwarts. It was not until the smoke cleared that Merlin noticed that his location was not Dumbledore's office, but the side of the castle's herb greenhouse.

"Professor, what did you do wrong?"

"No, that's right."

Dumbledore shook his head and smiled slyly.

"Mr. Molin, you can't skip every class, right?"

"This is Professor Sprout's Herbology class. I think you won't miss it, right?"

Merlin's mouth was calm, but his heart was twitching.

He really didn't remember that he had never seen the dean since he entered the school. He didn't know if there would be any special scenes in the Herbology class.

Merlin thought about things and entered the greenhouse to prepare for class.
